I was hosting a Black-capped chickadee festival this weekend at the log cabin - and I was the only one that brought food! As soon as the snow began falling, it seemed liked the Chickadees got louder with their chickadee dee dee calls! A couple landed on my shoulder and one ate from my hand - it was a great day had by all!

oh Shelley, I just love chickadee's! they are so cute!!I talk to mine all the time!!Your photography is awesome, I wish I had a camera that did that! I used to be so into photography, but life got in the way...oh well, I will again some day. I even used to develop my own black and white photo's when I was in high school, I loved the dark room! LOL

LOVE the chickadee pictures. They are my favorite bird and your pictures remind me why that is so. He is so cute! I can't even imagine what I would be like if one landed on me. I think it would make my day.

Shelley, I love those pictures with the snow falling and that Chickadee.. They are such cute little birds.. Ours sing constantly also with their Chick-a-dee-dee-dee songs!!!! They love to sing to me when I'm working outside.

Your photos are SO good; I just sit looking at your blog every time with my mouth hanging open! These little 'dees are so cute and sassy. I've had the good fortune of having them perch on me and take seed from my hand when I lived out West. There was a park where they'd got used to people and came readily. What a thrill! But they are known for showing up at parties empty handed, and rely on their charm to get invited back.

GORGEOUS chickadee photos, Shell. Don't love it when a chickadee lands on your hand to feed?

I got crazy one year and threw a Christmas wreath on my head, sprinkled it and my arms with seeds and waited for the chickadees to land, which they did. BUT I wasn't expecting the whole flock of goldfinches!!! My hubby sure had a good laugh. Goldfinches peck harder than chickadees.

Very nice blog Shelley! Great inspiration for us want-to-be's. Thanks for visiting my blog. Glad you came by, I look forward to learning so much from you about capturing, sharing, and loving nature!Craig

You have captured winter birdwatching at its best! BRAVO!!! Can't speak highly enough of those photos. Chickadees landing on your shoulder in the snow...sounds perfect. Yes, I think you would make a great bed and breakfast!
